Is anyone interested in helping to design a 3D printable wind turbine? lot of the work is already done, but we need help adapting the designs to work with a bicycle dynamo generator hub!

Always keen to help. What do need help with.
Awesome! Thanks @Michael_Scholtz right now we’re using a DIY axial flux generator, but the volts produced are very low (0.5v). Rather than go for a planetary gear or similar to try to improve this, we’ve decided to remove the generator completely and replace it with an off the shelf bicycle hub dynamo generator (6v for USB charging etc). Xavier who started the project doesn’t have much free time to do the 3D modelling (not my strong point) so I was wondering if I could get help designing a connection to the hub. Here is an example of the hub: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Sturmey-Archer-HDS12-Bicycle-Dynamo-Front-Hub-36h-Silver-6v-2-4w-/201299011779?hash=item2ede5b28c3
Do you want the hub to be hub for the assembly or mounted next to it driven with a belt or gear
Good question! Preferably part of the assembly rather than mounted next to it. I can invite you to the project so you can see the STL files if you like.
Thanks again @Michael_Scholtz
Hi yes that would be cool and will see what I can do.
